Imphal, March 20 2016:
Locals of Zomi Villa (North AOC) today stormed City Hospital and Research Centre, Chingmei-rong after an infant girl born through Caesarean section died at the hospital today.
A woman identified as Ningchui Keishing said that her sister-in-law Sinnem Keishing (32) w/o Hormi Keishing is a patient of a doctor of the health centre.
Although, Sinnem Keishing's expected date of delivery (EDD) is due for two more weeks, the doctor advised her to immediately admit in the hospital for child delivery through caesarean section today, Ningchui said.
However, after the operation, a hospital staff brought out a dead infant girl and told the patient's party that the baby was stillborn, she added.
The staff also advised them to take away the infant and not to show the baby to the mother, Ningchui said.
Later, Zomi Villa locals and family members stormed the hospital protesting negligence of the hospital authority and the doctor.
They also demanded punishment of the doctor concerned.
Ningshui said that the hospital authority has requested them to settle the matter at a police station.
Ningshui further said that Sinnem's first son is now four-years-old and healthy.
